Hello, and thank you for reading my profile. I am retired and would love to see more of Australia, UK and other countries.

My work experience has been in the hospitality industry whilst on working holidays in NZ and UK; in accounts/admin; retail; and, I was also a library assistant.

I am a non smoker and I love reading, knitting and sewing crafts and try to balance all that sitting down with some yoga and stretching exercises. I also like to swim (not far) and walk, especially if walking a dog.

Having been a home and pet owner myself I understand the level of trust that is required to welcome a house sitter into your home. Rest assured that I will respect your privacy and keep your house tidy and clean.

Why I want to house sit

I like to travel but not on tours. It's nice to stay in one place for a while and get to know the local area and perhaps some local people too. House sitting provides a great opportunity to do this with the added bonus of some home comforts. Having a dog to walk every day , besides being good exercise, is also a nice way to meet local people and have a chat here and there.

My experience

Being practical and conscientious and as a homeowner myself, I am used to looking after a house and any domestic emergencies that occur. At home I have a courtyard garden which I am currently working on to have some green space outside. So I am happy to do some light gardening.

I have had two much loved dogs in the past, a miniature dachshund for fourteen years and a staffy cross for around ten years. I am happy to feed and care for your outside cat, or chickens but do especially like dogs.

I like to live in a clean house myself and I will keep your house clean and tidy as well. I'll follow your instructions re animal care, and home and garden care. But I have to say that I don't have the pets sleeping in the same room with me.

I will email or skype to keep you updated on your pets and they will not be left alone for extended times. As I am on my own I will most likely not be going out at night anyway.

If there is a car for use, I have a clean driving record but I do have my own car if I can drive to the housesit.

When I returned Di had cooked a lovely meal for us to share before she made her way back home the next morning.

The house was very clean.

Now for the most important part - my little dog Erik was happy. Di took him for walks every day and he was very well behaved when I came home. i think Di was a little more firm than daddy is with his little boy :-)

highly recommended house-sitter.

After talking to Di before our holiday I felt sure she would be a good house sitter for our elderly Brittany spaniel who needs a little extra TLC. Now the house sit is over I am very happy to say that my initial impressions were right. Di is well organised and was able to spend time keeping Dizzy company. We arrived home to a happy dog and our home was very clean and tidy. I would be very happy for Di to sit for us again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending her to others considering her as a sitter.
